God's prescription for depression

[phillip]

Psalm 40:1-2 says, "I waited patiently for the Lord;  and he inclinded unto me, and heard my cry.  He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."

I used to work as a telemarketer (An honest one though!) for 10 years.  Many times during that ten years, I would get depressed because of certain ethical principles that I felt were being violated!  I protested those ethical violations, and God honored my Christian principles.  I had three young children during those ten years, and God used the above verses to get me through the stress of making enough sales to keep my job!  He also gave opportunities to witness to my fellow workers and the people I sold products to.  You had to be almost perfect to keep your job with making enough sales and in the process, quality sales!  But God gave me victory through the Lord Jesus Christ taking His word and making it real in my daily life!

Psalm 40:1-2 says, "I waited patiently for the Lord;  and he inclinded unto me, and heard my cry.  He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."

I love that verse.    I thank the Lord that your depression was situational instead of medical (much easier to fix!).  I am so thankful that you refused to do the wrong thing just because it was company policy.  And thank God you were able to witness so well and for so long in an industry that really needs it!  May God continue to bless you and your family.
